This Is How You Lose the Time War — Deluxe Edition

Hugo Award Winner • Nebula Award Winner • Locus Award Winner

The gorgeous deluxe hardcover edition of the beloved time-travel epistolary novella — now featuring new cover art, stenciled edges, designed endpapers, and a deluxe printed and debossed case.

Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading.

Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. What began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.

Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There's still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That's how war works. Right?

"Exquisitely crafted." — Publishers Weekly, starred review

Co-written by award-winning authors Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, This Is How You Lose the Time War is a love story unlike any other — spanning time, space, and the distance between enemies.
